The Appearance and Coronation of King Pṛthu (Pṛthu-avatāra) and His Humble Refusal of Premature Praise
सोऽभिषिक्तो महाराज: सुवासा: साध्वलड़्क़ृत: । पत्न्यार्चिषालड्क़ृतया विरेजेऽग्निरिवापर: ॥ १३ ॥
so ’bhiṣikto mahārājaḥ suvāsāḥ sādhv-alaṅkṛtaḥ patnyārciṣālaṅkṛtayā vireje ’gnir ivāparaḥ
Như vậy, Đại vương Pṛthu, khoác y phục và trang sức tuyệt mỹ, được cử hành lễ đăng quang và an vị trên ngai. Cùng với hoàng hậu Arci cũng rực rỡ trang nghiêm, hai vị sáng chói như ngọn lửa.
This verse depicts Pṛthu Mahārāja being anointed as king, richly dressed and properly adorned, shining with splendor—emphasizing his divine, exemplary status as an ideal ruler.
Arci is Pṛthu’s queen; she is mentioned to show the auspicious completeness of royal and dharmic life—her presence and adornment enhance the king’s radiance and dignity.
External honor and beauty are best when aligned with dharma—true brilliance comes from rightful duty, proper conduct, and supportive, sacred relationships.
